About This Product

The AIKO 490 Watt 108 Cell NEOSTAR 3P54 Mono-Glass 30mm Black Frame Solar Panel With Shade Optimisation is a high-efficiency N-Type ABC (All Back Contact) module designed for residential and light commercial solar systems. With a 490W output from a 108 half-cell format, it delivers strong power density while maintaining a clean all-black appearance suited to modern rooftops.AIKO’s ABC cell technology moves all busbars and contacts to the rear of the cell, reducing front-side shading and improving light absorption. This design supports higher module efficiency, improved low-light performance and better energy yield in partially shaded conditions compared to conventional front-contact panels. The mono-glass construction with a 30mm black anodised aluminium frame provides durability and long-term reliability in Australian conditions.

Who This Product Suits

This panel is well suited to homeowners wanting maximum output from limited roof space. The high 490W rating helps reduce the number of panels required, making it ideal for smaller roofs or designs where aesthetics matter.It is also suitable for installations with partial shading from nearby buildings, trees or roof obstructions. The back-contact cell structure and strong shade tolerance help maintain performance across the array.Installers specifying premium N-Type modules for long system life, strong temperature performance and low degradation rates will find this model appropriate for both grid-connected and hybrid systems.

Specifications Explained

• Rated Power: 490W nameplate output under standard test conditions, supporting higher system capacity per panel.
• Cell Technology: N-Type ABC (All Back Contact) cells, removing front busbars to increase active surface area and reduce resistive losses.
• Cell Format: 108 half-cut cells to reduce internal resistance and improve performance in real-world conditions.
• Module Efficiency: High conversion efficiency typical of N-Type back-contact designs, supporting strong yield per square metre.
• Temperature Performance: Low temperature coefficient, helping maintain output during hot Australian summers.
• Construction: Mono-glass module with 30mm black frame for structural strength and clean roofline appearance.
• Shade Optimisation Characteristics: Improved current handling and reduced mismatch losses compared to conventional front-contact P-Type panels.
• Warranty Profile: Long product and performance warranties consistent with premium N-Type modules, supporting long-term system reliability.

Summary

The AIKO 490 Watt 108 Cell NEOSTAR 3P54 Mono-Glass 30mm Black Frame Solar Panel With Shade Optimisation is a premium N-Type back-contact module built for high output and strong real-world performance. It combines 490W capacity, advanced ABC cell design and a durable mono-glass construction to suit demanding Australian residential installs.For projects where roof space is limited, aesthetics matter and long-term performance is a priority, this panel offers a practical, high-density solution without unnecessary complexity.
